Emmys Source: Show in Talks With Britney Spears

Is Britney Spears considering gracing another awards show stage just a week after her MTV Video Music Awards disaster?

Yes, according to an Emmy Awards show source, who tells Usmagazine.com that Fox network brass were “in negotiations” with Brit’s camp as of Thursday afternoon to get her on this Sunday night’s annual telecast. The source adds that while her appearance has not yet been confirmed, “the idea is to have her come on and apologize for the VMAs. She’s weighing the offer.”

Spears, 25, opened last Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards to scathing reviews. Since then, her lackluster performance has been blamed on just about everything, from her hair to her work ethic to her entertainment lawyer.

Though Spears has been keeping a low profile since the show, a source tells Us that at least some within her inner circle are receptive to the Emmy idea and are urging her to do it.

However, a source close to Spears says: “I can’t say this is 100 percent not true. All I can say is that the Emmy people aren’t dealing with her record company, her manager or her agents at William Morris. So if she is doing anything for the Emmys then it’s not going through the official channels.”
